OMG, that's depressing.

I don't know what's worse, being unemployed, or waiting for your plant to close.

I had placed a call to my old engineering firm (still had a very good relationship with them) the day I was told my company was closing the NC doors....and had an interview with them set up for March 3. Met with them, and by the end of the meeting had a job there. Took a week off to go to bike week then started the next monday

Very sweet. I thought you were doing some type of design work. Was going to start throwing out contacts if it would help. There's not a lot out there right now that's for sure.

I am in the middle of a big red spot and my company is hiring at my location.

Jindal is doing a decent job from what my grandpa says, he is pretty high up in his parish government.

Compared to what he replaced though, it wasn't very hard to improve.

Did you notice how there were jobs along the coast near New Orleans at the beginning and then they slowly start disappearing? I wonder if that means they've stopped rebuilding? :scratch:

I noticed my parish was ok, then went down, then went back up, and now it's currently down again. :(

I left 25 years ago when the last recession hit. The union is going to kill the state along with the car companies. Sad thing is, I really miss the state. My family is still there, but with no jobs, it doesn't look like I'll ever be back in wolverine land again.

Go hug a birch tree and look at a real lake for me, will ya? :)

I have 3 birch trees in my yard and I spent last weekend at the beach in Luddington.

Yeah if you go back and look and the very first year, east MI was already in the red and they never came out of it when all the other areas of the country was blue.
